youāre doing great.
whatever it was that made it crap, stop doing that. 
Thanks throwaway. Merry Christmas. I think maxing out precipitated the bad eating. I should refused the bad food too. When Iām sore I can lose Moti BBC motivation.
Knee plays up sometimes in the cold weather or if go too heavy. Fell off a stability doing a standing trick in my mid twenties.
I am at about a decade+ myself. Why do you test so frequently?
Itās fun I suppose. I will have to get out of the habit. Merry Christmas btw.
It set me back in all my goals though. I am no longer sore but still weak.
I am a firm believer that we only do what we want to do. Maxing didnāt set you back in any of your goals. It helped you achieve your goal.
Your goal is to have fun. Goal achieved.
Once your goal becomes ālose 100lbs in 365 daysā, you will do the things that get you there.
